We lost our R&B .......its gone....damn

[TinFoilSnapBack]

This fukking thread again...

R&B has been straight fire for the second half of the 2010s and coming into the '20s. I won't even bother posting material or debating, because y'all will argue tooth and nail without actually listening. Let's just say that, as an R&B head, I've been eating VERY well these past few years. Most people who subscribe to the "R&B is dead" ideology were never actual R&B heads... just rap fans who listened when Hip-Hop radio played R&B or their parents played it. Y'all go head and enjoy those daps, though.

Maybe if black culture didn't throw R&B in the bushes in favor of shyt rap music and "turning up" then R&B would still be popular.

Following and biting are 2 different things. No other rap group sounded like Mobb Deep, Dogg Pound, Ball and MJG, Capone N Nore, OutKast, UGK or Blackstar. Now days you can't tell a NY rapper from a Southern one. It has never been like this. Only rappers who are allowed to really spit are Cole, Kendrick, Meek, Drake, Ross and Wale. Only 1 of those rappers is currently on the billboard 100.

all of those groups had artist/crews that they were related to in aesthetic & style

back then the proliferation of trends was slower it was happening at the pace of how artist were promoted then

it happens faster now because everything is connected

you should say you can't tell the difference between southern artist & nyc artist now the accents cultural elements lingo etcetera is how you tell now

allowed to spit¿

nobody is stopping anyone from dropping bars

but looking at the records that get the most spins & sales it is not in the recipe to making a hit & being economically viable

artist definitely can carve out their own lane & eat even as a bar centric artist but they have to understand the tastes they are catering to

And these dudes calling this new trap-n-pop nonsense “Rnb” because the sodomites at these record labels who don’t know any black people say it is
